Estate Administration In Denton & North Texas

When a loved one passes away, his or her estate often has to go through a court-managed process called probate or estate administration where the assets are managed and distributed. This process is not necessary if your loved one possesed a well-drafted and properly funded living trust. In this case, the successor trustee instead of the court will administrate and distribute the deceased’s assets.

In most other estate cases, however, probate is required and the length of time needed to complete the process depends on the size and complexity of the estate as well as the requirements and schedule of the local probate court. Contact our office to schedule a consultation and have all of your questions answered.
